The Brad Abbott Memorial Toy Run family understood the assignment and showed out this year!!

The top picture is Christmas for a family with four kiddos. We were able to do this for fifty kids this year!!!

And, we were able to team up with A Cora Christmas to help make some Christmas magic for families!!

AND, we joined up with the local Odd Fellows bunch to help with sweatsuits for the residents at NHC Scott!!

This is only possible because we have the best community around who always opens their heart and pockets and gives so generously!! There will never be enough THANK YOU’S to show how grateful we are!!

We hope that everyone has a safe, relaxing, fun filled, and magical Merry Christmas!!!!

Layer up and find the warming stations tomorrow!!!

Share, share, share!

Optimal Attendance hours will be from 1 until 3pm!!!

The 10th Annual A Cora Christmas will be held Sunday on the Lawrenceburg Square with Santa rolling in just before 1pm to kick off a magical day of toys, food, resources, crafts, games, and characters! Don't miss his grand entrance! Warming stations will be available and many booths will have heaters too! Stop at the WLX Radio truck first for Santa numbers beginningat 12:30pm. Due to the weather, we will have a toy line for kids who don't want to wait for Santa. You cannot go through both the Santa and the Just Toy line.

This event for children and their families is 100% free (even the food trucks), thanks to the generosity of many people in our community. You know those Hallmark movies where the community gathers, layered up in the warmest clothes they can find, and celebrate Christmas together - well that's what we do on A Cora Christmas day and this year we have the weather to match. So layer up, come out, and have the kids on the Square just before 1pm for the best day ever!

A Cora Christmas 2025 will go on! While all are welcome to this event, we know many depend on these resources. We know for some children, this is their Christmas. We will have warming stations. Layer up like its a cold day with a bunch of snow on the ground that the kids want to play in and let's have a joyous day. After all, A Cora Christmas was born from creating good out of something bad - much worse stuff than a cold day.

We are thrilled to announce the A Cora Christmas event lineup with over 30 booths to make you smile, savor, create, help, and enjoy - all 100% free and 150% FUN! We are so thankful to all who made this day possible with so much love to our community.
